    Dim sldActive As Slide
    Dim effConvert As Effect

    Set sldActive = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
    Set shpSelected = sldActive.Shapes(1)

    ' Add an animation effect.
    Set effConvert = sldActive.TimeLine.MainSequence.AddEffect _
        (Shape:=shpSelected, effectId:=msoAnimEffectBounce)

    ' Add a dim after effect.
    Set effConvert = sldActive.TimeLine.MainSequence.ConvertToAfterEffect _
        (Effect:=effConvert, After:=msoAnimAfterEffectDim, _
        DimColor:=RGB(Red:=255, Green:=255, Blue:=255))
